I would go to your local vet and have him check for LP (most common, in fact extremely common). The vet can do it with a palpitation. Check for that and if he has it, tell your vet/breeder. See what she says. Cover your bases NOW. Your puppy is only 6 months old. Not even full grown yet. You cannot say for certain he is healthy. |
I'm considering the pet insurance. Also, I'm not really worried that she's 6 hours away. If a problem were to arise, I'd make the trip, or figure something out.
